Newsnight, BBC news

The description of my complaint is about every time Evan Davis or Laura Kuenssberg and co talk about the EU referendum it is to promote the Remain and to put down Leave. The same goes to the BBC news at 1, 6, or 10 during this referendum. The news channel appears to bang on night after night about Nigel Farage being some kind of bigot. If it wasn’t for Nigel Farage we wouldn’t be having this referendum in the first place. Also I notice Vote Leave are now using his own actual words. (“An Australian based points system”). I dont see the BBC gang turning on Boris or Andrea using these same remarks.
The news at ten after the Wembley debate shows all the remain characters getting their applause after their speeches but none for the vote leave team.

Do I have to honestly pay my licence to a “YES” BIG corporation who choose to show when and what bits to omitt to the detriment of one side.

I am making this formal complaint against the BBC for their “bias viewing” and deliberate attempt to persuade the public in to voting on the Remain side. It is not impartial and in fact detrimental to Vote Leave and brings me to question their integrity and intentions.

One Comment on ““Newsnight, BBC news””

I completely agree with this analysis. The default position with most of the BBC news output is against Brexit – from the selection of pro-EU individuals to appear, to the editing-in of pro-EU clips (of applause). Brexit campaigners are generally shown as white, uneducated, working class, and Leave campaigners as young, educated and smart!! (Just, presumably, like most of the BBC employees!!) Even after the vote, the default position is still completely against Brexit. Why can’t the BBC move on and accept democracy. I think it is the media who, in general, are more in a state of shock than the politicians – hence the feeling of ‘panic’ running through their news programmes. I think to refer to the BBC as unbiased is, in respect of the EU, patently wrong and an insult to the intelligence of the public. The only newscasters I would exclude from this is Andrew Neil and David Dimbleby who, by and large, have presented a balanced approach to the EU. Lets hope the BBC can now move on and try to provide balance in the medium term by running many more pro-Brexit features to even-up the anti-Brexis output of the past 3 months.

Channel: BBC Radio 2Programme Date: 18/09/2018Author: MikemacEvery morning I switch on radio 2 in the morning to be met with a daily negative onslaught of anti Brecht propaganda. There is no hint of shame about it. It’s a huge talking point amongst my colleagues. The BBC in general are totally out of control in their bias against brexit. No wonder I’m seeing more and more vehicle stickers saying “ is that the truth or did you hear it on the BBC”.

Channel: BBC1Programme Date: 17/09/2018Author: Disgusted with BBC Bias on BrexitI cannot put all the dates down because you ask for one specific date, I am sick and tired as are everyone else with continuous anti Brexit broadcasting from Monday 17th September 2019 and continuing through the rest of the week. The news channel is completely taken over with Brexit and interviewing remainers who LOST THE REFERENDUM and cannot accept defeat. THE BRITISH PUBLIC VOTED TO LEAVE SO CAN YOU AT THE BBC ACCEPT IT? This is a time in our history to reclaim back our country and when I voted to leave I am not concerned with the terms as long as we once again run our own country. Perhaps it may be a good idea if the BBC moved all their headquarters to Brussels and give us all a break! As Brexit has never happened before how is it that the BBC know so much about what we are going to lose and regret leaving. Just do everyone a favour and change the record

Channel: BBC1Programme Date: 17/09/2018Author: L CrouchThe female presenter today was trying to persuade Lib-dem MP to vote with his party to remain in EU instead of voting as his constituents did in the brexit referendum. I am an Eastbourne constituent & have not changed my mind about my leave vote in the referendum & believe that all MP’s should respect the way their constituents voted in the referendum. I find all BBC news programmes, without exception, are biased to remaining in the EU.

Channel: Other (please give details in main complaint box)Programme Date: 16/09/2018Author: MooredoReport on a computer game where post brexit Europeans are held in concentration camps and only allowed to do menial jobs. Why the BBC saw fit to report this other than an anti brexit bias is beyond me I couldn’t believe what I was watching.. And kept wondering why it was on!!. Complained to BBC about its biased approach.

Channel: BBC1Programme Date: 13/09/2018Author: ChrisCwmbranI wish to complain about the alarmist, clearly anti-Brexit reporting done by Laura Kuenssberg in the News today. Time and time again things which are only possibilities are reported and stressed in an alarmist manner thus attempting to alter the views of the public to a more anti-Brexit position. The BBC is supposed to be impartial and her reporting does not reflect this at all.
